📄New paper on ArXiv!
💡By mixing single photons and laser light, you can adaptively boost the QKD secret key rate (SKR) for short distances, and stay in the pure single-photon regime for longer links.

🎓Congratulations to Hubert Lam on the defense of his PhD yesterday! 🎉

In his PhD, he pushed the Wigner-function measurement technique to be compatible with our fast QD emission and, for the first time, measured the Wigner function of QD-based emitters! ✨

⚡We’re beginning to mix single photons with laser light to explore new quantum applications!
📄In our recent paper (Lam et al., QST 10, 045061 (2025)), we present tools to quantify the interference strength between these two light fields — a key step toward controlled quantum–classical mixing.💡
